NUVIA UK's Technical Services & Consulting department is fast growing with hybrid opportunities available up and down the country. We're striving to create a multidisciplinary team to offer our clients the best range of talent. BPSS clearance will be required at basic level. Prior clearance will not be transferable. Projects Two projects within the Fuel Integrity portfolio: Return of Failed Fuel and Sampling. Project details include - Return of Failed Fuel: assess active liquor in containers, develop an effluent discharge philosophy using existing plant routes, and assess an existing flushing system for use with a new container type.
- Sampling: assess existing sampling capability within three pond facilities, determine improvements, and design improvements; develop methods to identify sources of activity release down to a single container within the pond.
These projects are in the Appraise and Select phase, with initial information gathering and assessment around existing feeds and plant. This will lead to development of options, shortlisting, options development and finally the selection of a single preferred solution. Process deliverables include: basis of design, process description, flowsheet, supporting calculations, feed specification, sampling philosophy and underpinning, documentation to formalise these, flow diagrams, assessment and optioneering reports. Role description - Regular reporting on process team progress to Project Management and Engineering Manager.
- Work with a multi-discipline design team, including other engineering disciplines and non-engineering functions (Project Management, Programme Delivery, Technical Support Safety Assessors, Plant-Side Engineering, Plant Operations, Commissioning etc.).
- Gather information about existing effluent routes and their capabilities/compatibilities. Engage with effluent coordinators to identify safe discharge limits and agree required arrangements to enable discharges.
- Assess existing flushing system for use with a new container type, including pressure and flow characteristics. Identify potential issues and modifications up to full replacement where required.
- Develop a range of sampling systems for bulk pond condition, individual container sampling, and an intermediate level to locate activity releases within a very large pond.
- Develop radiological, environmental and non-nuclear safety cases for relevant hazards. Work in a highly regulated environment with emphasis on nuclear safety. Ensure design fits within existing safety cases and identify if this is not achievable.
Profile Essential Experience & Qualifications: - Experience working with teams of process engineers, other engineering disciplines and non-engineering disciplines on medium/large-scale projects.
